Tasting Notes
A gently extracted Rosé made from 100% Nero d'Avola, expressive fruit, freshness and acid line play key parts in making this one of the more moreish Rose's we've come across. - Chris L
Delinquente Wine Co. is a small, irreverent project from South Australia’s Riverland, founded in 2013 by Con-Greg Grigoriou. Inspired by his Italian heritage, Grigoriou set out to champion southern Italian grape varieties that thrive in the hot, dry Riverland climate—varieties like Vermentino, Nero d’Avola, Montepulciano and Bianco d’Alessano. These grapes not only suit the conditions but also produce wines of freshness, character and natural balance without excessive intervention.
The fruit is farmed organically by local growers, and winemaking is kept minimal: wild ferments, no additions beyond a touch of sulphur, no fining or filtration. The wines are bright, textural and playful, packaged with bold, tattoo-inspired labels that reflect the project’s rebellious, fun-loving spirit.
Delinquente has become a flag-bearer for Riverland’s new wave—proving the region can deliver vibrant, quality wines that are both accessible and full of personality, with a focus on drinkability and authenticity.
